Hi Xenia,

For external tables, I believe that we just use the order of the columns as reported by JDBC metadata. It's possible to use XML to add extra metadata about the columns, but I just did some testing and couldn't find a way to reorder them for the edit view.

One potential approach would be for us to use the column order from the XML file as the default order, which would drive insert, update, detail and grid views. I can open a request to do that if it sounds like it would work for your scenario. Let me know.

Thanks,
Josh
